The Greeks in Iberia and their Mediterranean Context
This volume explores the effects of Greek presence in the Iberian Peninsula, and how this Iberian Greek experience evolved in resonance with its neighbouring region, the Mediterranean West. Contributions cover the Phocaean settlement at Emporion and its relationship with the indigenous hinterland, the government of the Greek communities, Greek settlement and trade at Málaga, the Greek settlement of Santa Pola, Greek trade in Southern France and Eastern Spain, the implications of imported Attic pottery in the fifth and fourth centuries BC and the conception of Iberia in the eyes of the Greeks. The Iberian Peninsula invites discussion of key notions of ethnic identity, the use of code-switchi...
Reframing the Roman Economy
This book focuses on those features of the Roman economy that are less traceable in text and archaeology, and as a consequence remain largely underexplored in contemporary scholarship. By reincorporating, for the first time, these long-obscured practices in mainstream scholarly discourses, this book offers a more complete and balanced view of an economic system that for too long has mostly been studied through its macro-economic and large-scale – and thus archaeologically and textually omnipresent – aspects. The topic is approached in five thematic sections, covering unusual actors and perspectives, unusual places of production, exigent landscapes of exploitation, less-visible products and artefacts, and divergent views on emblematic economic spheres. To this purpose, the book brings together a select group of leading scholars and promising early career researchers in archaeology and ancient economic history, well positioned to steer this ill-developed but fundamental field of the Roman economy in promising new directions.
Die Religion der Kelten in den antiken literarischen Zeugnissen: Von Cicero bis Florus
The subject of this volume is the religion of the Celts as it is depicted in ancient literary sources. In addition to epigraphic monuments and archaeological findings, our knowledge of this part of Celtic life is mainly based on Greek and Latin literary testimonies. This material was collected for the first time in the 1930s by Johannes Zwicker in his Fontes Historiae Religionis Celticae. However, this collection, which has not yet been reprinted, lacks many relevant passages; moreover, it is merely a text collection and contains no commentary. The aim of the present study is to fill these gaps. The Greek and Latin testimonies have been translated into German to aid in their understanding. I...
L'iconographie orientalisante de la Péninsule Ibérique
"Ce livre se propose comme une contribution à l'analyse du goût pour l'" oriental " dont témoigne la plupart des sociétés du Bassin méditerranéen au début du 1er millénaire av. J.-C. La démarche s'appuie sur l'établissement du corpus iconographique pour la péninsule Ibérique, thème par thème, et en mettant en avant aussi précisément que possible les ressemblances et les différences entre les images trouvées dans le sol péninsulaire et les " modèles " orientaux. L'exercice de rassemblement, d'ordonnancement et de comparaison iconographique débouche ensuite sur une réflexion consacrée d'une part à l'iconologie et d'autre part à l'échange d'art et de styles dans le ca...
Greek Slave Systems in their Eastern Mediterranean Context, c.800-146 BC
The orthodox view of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean holds that Greece and Rome were its only 'genuine slave societies', that is, societies in which slave labour contributed significantly to the economy and underpinned the wealth of elites. Other societies, traditionally labelled 'societies with slaves', are thought to have made little use of slave labour and therefore have been largely ignored in recent scholarship. This volume presents a radically different view of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean world, showing that elite exploitation of slave labour in Greece and the Near East shared some fundamental similarities, although the degree of elite dependence on slaves varied from region...
L'imaginaire du territoire en Espagne et au Portugal, XVIe - XVIIe siècles
Aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, la connaissance concrète des territoires péninsulaires fait de considérables progrès : la perception globale du pays en est fortement affectée, et la découverte de l'Amérique se double d'une découverte de la péninsule Ibérique et de ses espaces. Une foisonnante littérature cosmographique, géographique, chorographique et d'innombrables récits de voyage envahissent les bibliothèques, contribuant à modifier la conscience collective du territoire national, de sa nature, de ses limites. Si l'aspect descriptif domine dans cette production « touristique », scientifique, littéraire ou purement administrative, l'aspect imaginaire n'en est pas absent : au discours réaliste s'ajoute une élaboration - rhétorique ou poétique - qui transforme le vu et le vécu en appréhension d'un sens, historique, religieux, esthétique ou simplement identitaire. Ce livre explique pourquoi et comment une terre connue, parcourue, vécue a pu si souvent apparaître, à ceux-mêmes qui l'ont habitée, comme une contrée mythique : un lieu peuplé de souvenirs, de métaphores, d'allusions, d'arrière-pensées idéologiques et de fantasmes.
